Luca Guadagnino's ‘After the Hunt' to Shoot This Summer — Andrew Garfield Joins the Cast

Fresh off the acclaim of “Challengers,” Luca Guadagnino will be shooting a new film in just a few months.

In March, it was announced that Guadagnino would direct Julia Roberts in a thriller called “After the Hunt” that landed at Amazon/MGM Studios. The script is being penned by Nora Garrett. This is a hot package that is said to have had many bidders.

Deadline is now reporting that Andrew Garfield has joined the cast, and that a summer shoot has been set up. A 2025 release is being planned for the film. The trade additionally claims that “every A-list director and star” has been chasing this project since its inception a couple of years ago.

“After the Hunt” is described as an intense dramatic thriller about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues, and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light.

So, this will be Guadagnino’s next film. He might shoot the Italian-set “Separate Rooms,” starring Josh O’Connor, in 2025. He’s also going to be very busy this fall as his much-anticipated William S. Burroughs adaptation, “Queer,” starring Daniel Craig, is set to premiere at at festivals, including Venice.

Guadagnino has a stack of other projects lined up as well, including an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ “The Shards,” for HBO. He says a “Call Me By Your Name” sequel, with Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet, has been written. Finally, his upcoming adaptation of “The Lord of the Flies” is still in development.
